For the second time in three MotoGP events, Pol Espargaro is a racer once again. Two races ago he stood in for injured Tech3 KTM rider Maverick Vinales at the Czech GP; this weekend he is in action at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Replacing an injured team-mate “is not what I like the most, nor does it make me feel comfortable,” admits Espargaro in Hungary, where he progressed directly to Q2 and then narrowly missed out on a point with 10th position in the Saturday sprint. “You never want another rider to get injured.”
